Difference between American and British Versions of Harry Potter Series

posted by tivier

Throughout the Harry Potter books, there are some variations between the Bloomsbury (British) and Scholastic (American) editions. Below the first section on "Philosopher's vs. Sorcerer's" is a section on other different terminologies used.

Philosopher's vs. Sorcerer's

When Scholastic was publishing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in America, they decided to rename the book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. They claimed that the American and British uses of the word philosopher were a bit different, so therefore sorcerer was a zaidi appropriate word. Any true Harry Potter fan, American...

MEANINGS OF HARRY POTTER CHARACTER NAMES

posted by Thecharliejay

HOGWARTS STAFF
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore: His first name is from the Latin word alba, "white." His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for "bumblebee." In colour symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster's name suggests honour and a hard-working nature ("busy as a bee").
Professor Binns: A bin is a large storage container. A dustbin is British English for a garbage can. This boring professor could be described as a ghostly storage for information that many Hogwarts students view as rubbish.
Headmaster Armando Dippet: Armando is from the name Armand,...

51 Reasons Why I Hate Dolores Umbridge

posted by zar_far11

Dolores Umbridge: the horrible woman who is the most cruel and hated character in the Harry Potter series. Here are 100 reasons as to why I hate Dolores Umbridge.

1) She believes in extremely harsh, severe, and cruel punishments.

2)Too much pink.

3) She's just doesn't make sense. Like, how she tells everyone to raise their hands if they want to speak, but then she ignores them.

4) She's racist. Well, she's technically "half-breed-ist", because she thinks wizards and witches are better than centaurs, werewolves, goblins, elves, etc. I hate that, because without the help of a lot of half breeds,...

The Sexist Element

Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley

I just want to state right away that J. K. Rowling is in no way sexist. This is about the mashabiki and again, not all of them.

Ginerva Molly Weasley. The upendo of Harry Potter's life, the mother of his children. Headstrong, smart, cunning, quick-thinking, and fierce. The hero to many girls, young and old, and the object of affection to many boys out there as well.

Hermione Jane Granger. The upendo of Ron Weasley's life, the mother of his children. Also headstrong, smart, cunning, quick-thinking, and just as fierce, if only in a slightly different way. Hermione is possibly the most well-known of the...

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: the book vs. the film. Comparison and contrast.

posted by lucius_malloy

Here's a comparison and contrast essay I wrote for school - keep in mind my English teacher has never read Harry Potter, so I had to explain stuff.

When comparing a book and a film, au something similar, the first thing one thinks about is obviously the plot. And in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, at first glance, you'll find it's rather similar in both the book and the film. Harry, Ron and Hermione, the main trio, go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for their sixth year. They're shocked when they find out that ex-Potions Master Severus Snape has been named Defence Against...

Marnie Piper & Hermione Granger: 2 Young Witches

posted by deedragongirl

MARNIE!

Hi guys, I'm a big shabiki of Harry Potter and I remember watching Halloweentown. So, I'm going to be uandishi the similarities between Hermione and another young witch, Marnie Piper.

Marnie Piper

I first saw Halloweentown back in 2001 before Harry Potter hit the cinema theatres! Okay, I was very happy that Marnie is her own character and she is not the typical Mary Sue character.

Hermione Granger

Okay, I watched all of the Harry Potter series, and I have that Hermione is actually very much like Marnie, in terms of personality except that she zaidi of a book-worm. To whom I look up to, not to forget that their names rhyme!
If Harry Potter and Halloweentown were to be set in the same universe, it would be great to make a film about the characters together!

Hermione au Marnie?

Who do wewe like? If wewe have anymore similarities between these 2 heroines, let me know!

Is Bellatrix a Horcrux & Other Theories as to Why She Loves Voldemort

So Rowling never really discussed why Bellatrix is so obsessed with Voldemort. And I constantly ponder upon how anyone could find that no-nosed snake-man-boy attractive in any way. With that alisema I wanted to post a few of my theories as well as some of the interesting ones I've seen across the net. Once again, as stated, these are just theories and speculations. No more, no less.

First and foremost I think it's a pretty salama bet to say that she loves him au at least started to upendo him based on the fact that they share similar ideologies. Both loved the idea of pure-blood supremacy. A lot of...

10 Things wewe Don't Know About Harry Potter

1. This one is funny, in Harry Potter’s world owls are considered to be the primary means of communication, but in many countries owls are considered bad luck and harbingers of death.

2. wewe know those witchy sounding names history in Harry Potter; well they were discovered from the famous book of herbal lore called Culpeper’s Complete Herbal.

3. The name of the mwandishi J.K. Rowling has not the “K” word part of her legal name; it has been from her grandmother’s name Kathleen and was put into book to get the male readers attraction.

Why I Don't Like Molly Weasley

posted by zanhar1

To start I would like to say that I am not posting this to be mean au start any fights. I'm posting this because a lot of people ask me why I don't like her au simply assume it's only because I like Bellatrix, and I want to clear this up. Plus I'd rather just post a link to this makala rather than explain it every time someone asks.

Anyways, the first and biggest problem I have with Molly is (yes the obvious one lol, I'll get it out of the way first) that she killed Bellatrix. I do respect her motives, her kid's life was on the line. But I still don't like it. I also don't like how she called...

ok so I found this stupid person listing all the reasons why twilight is better than twilight. so I replied to every single one. and this is her picture:

1. Robert Pattinson, can wewe say HOT? And he's totally sexy when he sparkles!

So? Hotness has absolutely no correlation to uigizaji ability. He was also in Harry Potter first.

2. Taylor Lautner, I mean, have wewe SEEN those muscles?

NOT HOT. Strange nose, closed up eyes and no uigizaji ability. That is just my personal opinion. As I said, hotness has no correlation to uigizaji ability.

Watch Harry potter and the deathly hallows Part 2 online- The Last part of Harry Potter series

How often does it happen that we decide to watch a film in the theatre, then tafuta it online, and then leave it to finish downloading first so that we could watch it some other time, and then end up, ultimately, forgetting about it altogether? Quite often, I’d say!
There’s nothing wrong in choosing to download the film wewe are here for, but when wewe can link, why not simply sit down and enjoy it first, and then worry about whether wewe want to keep this film with your forever! It’s not only acceptable in the film-fan world, but it’s also the idea in vogue. Furthermore, outing to cinema...

1. Become an extremely powerful witch au wizard. This will take years of study and sacrifice which lie beyond the scope of a WikiHow article. As a general guide wewe should not attempt to create a horcrux until wewe can cast non-verbal killing curses.

2. Locate an object of extreme significance to you. An emotional attachment to the object will aid the process and make it easier on your body and soul.
